Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, cause ROOT's getting everybody out there.

Holy shit, 6 months ago I would never have thought ROOT would get someone like ToD. I was worried when they restarted about their financial stability, but I'm glad they're doing well.

Faster than a Zerg's creep post-queen buff indeed.
Must've been one meaty sponsor and many good contracts for you to get all of this so quickly.

Well I think 2 things.

1. They have a big sponsor incoming.

2. They aren't paying them much if any at all.

I doubt twitch sponsorship gives them that much money so I think they may just be joining in the hopes that when all these popularish players get on a team a sponsor will want them.
When I think of something else, something will go here
